Too bad you can't post the entire article - this is dynamite. And it also says that one of Soros' groups has donated to Lugar - which is why he's not supporting Bolton.

A traitor right in the leadership of the committee. Disgusting!!!

("Reporters like to say they 'follow the money' in political stories," said AIM editor Cliff Kincaid, "but they've ignored the financial facts that may help explain why liberals on the Foreign Relations Committee are opposing Bolton."

AIM's review of Federal Election Commission (FEC) data shows that a political action committee associated with Citizens for Global Solutions contributed financially to Foreign Relations Committee members Senators Barbara Boxer, Christopher Dodd, Russell Feingold, and Barack Obama.

Citizens for Global Solutions used to be known as the World Federalist Association (WFA), a group that favors world government and global taxes on American citizens to pay for it. The organization, which is leading the opposition to Bolton through television ads and a "Stop Bolton" web site, also contributed to the Republican committee chairman Senator Richard Lugar, who declined to issue a statement of support for Bolton when his nomination was announced.

Two groups explicitly associated with George Soros – the Open Society Policy Center and the American Progress Action Fund -- are working with Citizens for Global Solutions to defeat Bolton. Soros, who spent $23 million in an effort to defeat President Bush's re-election, made financial contributions to six of eight Democratic members of the Foreign Relations Committee – Senators Obama, Boxer, and Bill Nelson, Joe Biden, Paul Sarbanes, and John Kerry.)

You know, I've been wondering why Lugar is not only supporting the LOST treaty, but apparently ramrodded it thru his committee?

Could this be yet another "follow the money" issues?
